Lead down to double-figures now...

England so far doing a good job of taking 1s/2s post-tea, instead of coming out swinging.

best chase i've seen in a long time

by RealGunner Sat Aug 08, 2020 5:01 pm

always liked Woakes

by Lucifer Sat Aug 08, 2020 5:28 pm

What happened here lol. What a turnaround.

by RealGunner Sat Aug 08, 2020 5:31 pm

The ball is absolutely dead.

And Woakes n Buttler had some prime brexit beans on toast during tea. This composure is not england like at all

by S Sat Aug 08, 2020 5:34 pm

And to think that Buttler was in risk of losing his place in the team

This innings just about cements his inclusion in the team

by Jay29 Sat Aug 08, 2020 5:53 pm

It's getting nervy out there. Feels like something is about to happen.

New ball soon too.

by RealGunner Sat Aug 08, 2020 5:56 pm

new ball around 20 runs to win is ideal. nearly there

by Lucifer Sat Aug 08, 2020 6:04 pm

Butler gone. Too late or there is twist to this. Please there be a twist.

by S Sat Aug 08, 2020 6:06 pm

Too little too late i reckon

Atleast we'll have an interesting 15-20 minutes or so though

by RealGunner Sat Aug 08, 2020 6:09 pm

it's in the bag

by Lucifer Sat Aug 08, 2020 6:30 pm

Good win by England. Wonderful test match all round. It's been ages I have seen entire Test match ffs.

by S Sat Aug 08, 2020 6:34 pm

Incredible chase by England.

I feel Pakistan missed a trick here when England were 5 down, they could have had both spinners bowling in tandem when the ball was turning all over the place

I feel Pakistan needed to win this to make this series competitive but sadly I see one way traffic going forward

Incredible game of test cricket though. Love watching test cricket in England.

Pretty much. Wish there was crowd for this.

This is why test cricket is the best format still. Only thing that would have made it better was if it was the 5th day.

can't wait for the 2nd test.

Breaking. Ben Stokes will miss the rest of the Test series to go home to NZ for family reasons.

Who do we bring in?

by Lucifer Fri Aug 21, 2020 1:08 pm

We watching the third test or what?

by Lucifer Fri Aug 21, 2020 2:32 pm

Cracker of ball by Yasin shah to dismiss Pope. Classic leg spin bowling at its best.

by Lucifer Fri Aug 21, 2020 3:23 pm

Buttler doesn't give two fucks about who's bowling or how's the pitch, you bowl him bad bowl he will punish it more often than not.

by Lucifer Fri Aug 21, 2020 4:07 pm

Ton for Crawley. Good work lad.

by Lucifer Fri Aug 21, 2020 5:06 pm

Another smashing half century by Buttler. Seriously how good is this guy.

by Jay29 Fri Aug 21, 2020 6:15 pm

Crawley going for the daddy hundred. Love to see it.

by RealGunner Fri Aug 21, 2020 6:16 pm

Who is this guy lol. One of the best innings i have seen lately. He has nearly all the shots in his locker.

This has to be a 400+ innings

by Jay29 Fri Aug 21, 2020 6:17 pm

22 year-old from Kent. One of the County Championship's top scorers last season.

by RealGunner Sat Aug 22, 2020 1:37 pm

Ton for Buttler. Nearly double century for Crawley.

At which point do England declare? Pakistani batting is weak. 400 might be good considering there is always rain scare.

by Lucifer Sat Aug 22, 2020 3:25 pm

I think they will bat through today if they can and make Pakistan follow on.

by Jay29 Sat Aug 22, 2020 4:20 pm

Crawley going for Gooch's record here. Could be the first England player in forever to reach a triple hundred. Cook got close with a couple of 290s.

Quite funny looking at England's scorecard, though. Sibley, Burns, Root and Pope all <30 runs. Crawley and Buttler with 400 runs between them. Laughing
